I know it may not mean anything but we were touched on 15th February and when we are stuck in this vacuum it is very exciting!!

And we are almost half way to (hopefully) getting our NAO2.

Best wishes to everyone

Hi, we had a similar problem.

We phoned and emailed countless times and they just kept telling us we had to wait and that they had no record of our file.

They eventually rejected the whole thing because the cheque was in a seperate envelope which they did not open.

Inside the returned package was our NAO1 and case number which we never recieved, so it proved we were in the system.

We have had to re-file and have lost our original file date.

My only advice is to keep phoning and ask for a higher authority.

Good luck

lol!!! I love being a Dec filer with you. You are too funny. But yes, I second that!!!

I bet if we all started playing Monopoly this 5 months would go buy lickity split.

Can you imagine how much rent you could charge for landing on Dallas Lockbox Facility?

And then... you have recieved your NAO1 move forward 6 spaces...

You have recieved a RFE.. Go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect £200.

You have recieved your NAO2, miss 3 goes while you manage your anxiety waiting for your medical. Collect £100 from each player to sustain you while you fill in all the other forms needed for your interview..........

We filed our K1 visa on 19th October - it got rejected and so we filed again on 14th December and we were given a different case file number.

During this time period I have calculated that 31,000 visa applications were made - in 7 weeks!!!

They sure are busy.....................

Are you guys still here?

I wish you would move out of the way, and August filers, and September filers, and October filers, and Novemeber filers.......

And then................

Oh yes, then it will be our turn!!!

Sincerely hope you hear something soon, but be rest assured you will probably all be married by the time we recieve our NOA2!

Good Luck everyone

A bitter sweet Christmas. Next year in California - WOW!!!

I'm at CVS.

Live in South Yorkshire, England.

Good luck to those before us.

Strength and determination to the rest of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Package was rejected because they did not open a seperate envelope which had the cheque in.

We kept ringing because of no NOA and they kept saying they did not have us on file.

When we eventually got the package back the NOA dated Nov 5th was in the package so they must have had us in the system.

We then had further delay in sending the package back because my finace was in the UK visiting me when the package was returned to him.

Very frustrating but looking forward now!!

Are there any other people who have filed in December?

All those before us should be given hope as you are now further along as we begin our journey!!

It is frustrating seeing people desperately waiting for their cases to progress, and having to wait right up to the 5 month mark. I really feel for you guys and I pray that you hear soon. (I also want you out of the way to make room for us!!!!)

It is uplifting to see people getting NOA 2 and then approval. It gives hope and I know that in a few short months it will be us

So thanks to all those who update timelines and post their progress.

Even though I am not with my Fiance this festive season I will be celebrating and making the most of this time I have left with family and friends. And on New Year'e Eve I will be celebrating all that is to come in 2011.

Best Wishes and Good Luck to everyone.

We filed on 19th Oct

Rejected on 5th Dec

Re-filed on 14th Dec

Would like to share our frustrating experience so far.

We filed on 19th October 2010.

Never heard anything. Made repeated phone calls and emails and told to wait, and wait and wait.

They could not confirm they had recieved our package and said they could not find us in the system.

The package was returned a few days ago with a NOA inside dated the 5th November so we must have been in the system as our case number is on there.

The package had started to be worked on, they had put key evidence inside one of their envelopes (i.e. proof of my flight over there in July and bank statements showing I had withdrawn money over there)

My finance had put the check in a seperate envelope attached to the package but they had not opened this and so rejected the package for no fee being sent.

We have lost our original file date and frustrated about the lack of communication and how this problem could have been rectified very easily.

However, we have filed again and are determined to stay positive and look forward to hopefully a summer wedding!!

Hi there,

finally we have heard something.

My finace recieved the whole package back a few days ago. There was a NOA in there dated the 5th November, (we sent the package on 19th October) the rejection letter was dated the 3rd December.

They rejected because they did not open a seperate envelope with the checque in and so as far as they were concerned we did not include a fee. They had started to work on the package because key pieces of evidence had been put in a seperate envelope. (i.e. evidence of my flight over there in July and bank statements showing I had withdrawn money whilst there)

So even tho there was a NOA with our case number on they repeatedly told us they could not find any record of our package.

My finace phoned and emailed numerous times and they just kept telling us to wait.

They have also said we have lost our file date, so now we need to start again.

Hey ho, onwards and upwards!!!!

Any progress on your package? I called but nothing on mine, I will give it another week or so and call again Monday.

Hi there,

I don't have any advice because we are in exactly the same situation except they have not yet told us if they have the package.

We posted ours on the 19th October and each time we phone or email we are told to wait some more!!

We have been told to file again, to not file again and to do what we feel is best!!

It's so very frustrating, 7 weeks have been wasted.

Tomorrow we are going to make a final phone call and then we will be submitting our package again and cancelling the original cheque.

Good luck to you - Good luck to us!!!

Hi,

they did not send the original cheque back.

We did get an acknowledgement but it was not a NOA and had no case number on???????????

Hi,

we got a RFE and sent everything back 3 weeks ago but we have heard nothing and cheque still not cashed.

Don has phoned and all they will tell him is that they can't tell him anything until 30 days has passed.

Is this usual practice?

Thanks

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.

We filed our initial I-129F about 6 weeks ago but did not submit everything so they sent it back to my US fiance, but not the cheque.

We got everything together and sent it again on the 15th October.

He recieved the reciept on the 23rd October but we did not get a case number or anything.

However the cheque has still not been cashed and I have seen timelines where the cheque is usually cashed within a couple of days.

Does it sometimes take this long for the cheque to be cashed?

Thanks
